People go to therapy for all kinds of reasons, including the loss of a job, the loss of a loved one, or a mental health issue.

To that point, one in five adults will experience mental illness this year, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and approximately 46 million adults in the US manage a mental illness every day.

Therapy gives people an outlet to talk to about their lives and struggles, and can help them process their feelings with an objective party. According to a 2018 survey by the Barna group, 42% of American adults have seen a counselor at some point, and another 36% say they are open to it.

"If you are tired of the way things are but aren't sure how to approach change, call a therapist," Elisabeth Goldberg, a marriage and family therapist, told Business Insider in an email. "Accepting help is not a weakness, but a strength. Change is treatment for the soul, and therapists are doctors for change."

We asked people to share the best thing they learned from therapy, and their answers contained several valuable life lessons for anyone needing a change of perspective. Some subjects interviewed were given permission to use their first names only in order to protect their anonymity. 

Here's what they had to say.
